CAS-ual Friday: Birthday Card by Sue

Good afternoon and happy Friday 13th! It's Sue here, and it's my turn to share my CAS-ual Friday project.  I've made a birthday card 'cos birthdays never go out of fashion, in fact I've had lots, and lots, and lots...
It may not be high tech, but I like it, and more importantly it could be used as a Man Card - I know, that's almost a swear word isn't it!
I won't blind you with the science of how this was made ;-) suffice to say small ink pads were used. I've deliberately made the lines a bit wonky 'cos I think that people would pay extra for that!
I've used stamps from 
Merry Magpie and
Happy Birthday 
All of the wonderful stamps can be found here.
Have a very happy weekend - no walking under ladders, and be kind to black cats. Thanks very much for looking x

Cool card, Sue! Easy and lovely! Of course people pay more for wonky lines....LOL.
I didn't even know that today's Friday the 13th - till I read your last paragraph. I've been walking ON a ladder today, a stepladder. No cats around, only dogs. I'll be fiiiine! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥ ♥ ♥

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between...

I want to fly!

I used one of the Aztec images from the set * Aztec Art Dolls *.

Have a lot of fun crafting! Love Majo ♥

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
